At the beginning of NC-10, the Heywood Refuge finally ended more than a year of chaos. John Fleming finally relied on his political wisdom and ruthlessness to kill all the idiots who stood in the way and became the Heywood Refuge new supervisor.

Facts have proved that the top executives of the Valentino gang are still somewhat talented in fighting for power and profit. They blew up the elevator from the refuge to the dormant area at the beginning of the war, making it impossible for John Fleming to find his own Right-hand man.

They knew very well that if those well-known superhuman mercenaries were released, the outcome would be decided, so they simply cut off the connection between the refuge and the ice storage at the bottom.

But this is just a little trouble for John Fleming, not to mention that he himself is a superhuman, just relying on the means of coordinating, he quickly let his identity from the refuge mercenary Become one of the top leaders of the Valentino Gang.

Of course, this is just a nice way to say it. In fact, John Fleming is actually following the path of Edward. Through Edward, he met a widow from the Valentino Gang. The woman is in her 40s. His illegitimate woman was so highly regarded, but Machete never admitted it.

Relying on the route of the lady, John Fleming first solved the identity problem, and then it was head-to-head, the joint war familiar to the Valentinos, just like the Night City back then, except that this time there were no ridiculous law enforcement officers involved. Adjustment, the relationship between the enemy and the enemy is more fruitful.

In order to follow the various rules of the Valentino gang, John Fleming spent more than a year step by step before finally taking down the entire shelter. The good news is that although the street wars look bloody, they are comparable to real wars. More than, it is like children's fights, and more than 2000 people died in the whole process.

The bad news is that a large number of shelter facilities were damaged during the war, and even if the engineers tried their best, they could only restore 80.00% of the power supply of the shelter.

In addition, John Fleming has to thoroughly investigate the cultivation of addictive compounds in the Heywood Refuge. Soils for food are being rapidly poisoned.

Soil that has been planted with addictive compounds a few times will become so compacted that it cannot be used to grow food at all, and even the crops of the Gray Fields Project will suffer from it.

"Edward, old friend, it's time to make a decision." John Fleming sat beside Edward, and said softly, "I promise, I will manage this place well, but you have to cooperate with me, you know your safety is very important. The threat to this sanctuary far outweighs other factors."

"I don't know about Tang Ji yet, I can't sleep well." Edward drank the spirits in his glass. This kind of pre-war stuff is now a rare commodity.

"The dormant cabin uses chemical drugs and low-temperature freezing technology. If you really can't sleep well, you must have awakened." Fleming slammed his old friend unceremoniously: "As for Tang Ji, I think he is better than us. Life is long."

"Even if you can talk, after tonight, I will honestly go to hibernate." Edward sighed, and it seemed that there would be no big change from when he first entered the shelter.

"Is there anything special tonight?" John Fleming asked subconsciously, but Edward rolled his eyes, and he didn't say a word.

Tonight, Mikkelsen will take Tang Anran to watch the big storm on the earth in the Sea of ​​Tranquility, and he hopes to have a look at the child from the air.

Pablo Vaughan, from Valentino Sanctuary, was a part of the Valentino gang the day he was born, and he hopes to be part of the Valentino gang the day he dies.

The good news is that his long-cherished wish will probably come true. The bad news is that it may be today.

"Vaughn, let's go today!" A burly man passing by said to him, with some kind of excitement in his tone, this is the most he heard today.

"Vaughan, good luck starting today!" Another passing woman whispered to Vaughan, as if he was about to do something great.

In fact, it is true, Vaughn will be a member of the exploration team today, going to the surface outside the shelter, they will venture through most of Night City, go to the Heywood shelter, and reconnect with there, so that Wa The Lundino Gang is back intact.

Although the great storm that destroyed everything on the surface still carried out Tang Ji's will, Guswota did not intend to let his loyal men go to die for nothing.

The work of returning to the surface began the year Machete died. Machete did not get the funeral he deserved. Those ungrateful people were like a group of wild beasts, and buried Machete's body in a hurry, even forcing Edward to Restrain the behavior of those thugs by publishing information and asking for help from other shelters.

All this made Guswarta feel that the face of the Valentino Gang had been severely trampled, and he wanted to clean up the door himself.

The Valentino gang built two shelters in a row. They may be one of the few forces that know the shelter project best among the civil forces. Construction machinery for level excavation work.

Valentino's shelter is not far from Night City. After analysis by the engineer team, they continued to excavate in depth from the bottom of the shelter [-] months ago, and nine months later dug out a ten-year-long tunnel. Eight kilometers of tunnels.

At the end of the tunnel, they found a small section of the Night City sewer system that still existed. Afterwards, the Valentino gang continued to send teams to explore and repair the fragmented sewer system, trying to find a tunnel that could be accessed.

It was not until three days ago that this exploration finally came to an end. After countless efforts, Valentino determined that the farthest section of the tunnel should reach the area of ​​the city government of the previous night.

Theoretically speaking, after leaving the tunnel, the team members only need to walk eleven kilometers westward to reach Heywood Shelter.

Vaughan and his team's task is not to go directly to Heywood Shelter, but to establish a safe route along the way. According to the daily weather forecast issued by No. 0 Shelter, today is a good day. The big storm that swept through the overnight city is rare. Level 14 is the lowest point in the past ten years.

Guswota decided to send people back to the ground, and use high-grade carbon fiber ropes to build a road along the way so that people will not be blown away or lose their way in a big storm.

Because the radiation dust released by Apocalypse Day makes almost all transportation vehicles unable to use normally on the surface, and the fine metal storms that sometimes accompany storms are even more nightmares within nightmares.

In the Valentino shelter, it is often said that a big storm is like Tanguy's temper, and there is no good time.

This sentence made Vaughn always maintain a high respect for Big Storm, because he had seen Tang Ji and knew Tang Ji's temper.

"Vaughan, today" An acquaintance met Vaughan and repeated the same words, but Vaughn stopped the other party and nodded silently.

He walked back to his small room. The room was not big, but it was a rare luxury single room equipped with a separate bathroom and kitchenette in the shelter. Since he voluntarily signed up to be the first batch of warriors to return to the surface, he lived in Here it is.

In an hour, he was about to set off to face the big storm that was comparable to Tangy's temper. When he thought of this metaphor, waves of tension squeezed Vaughn's stomach, making him feel like he was going to throw up.

But this doesn’t change anything. Vaughan will not run away. The Valentino gang is still the same Valentino gang. No matter what purpose Vaughn signed up for at the time, he can’t quit temporarily. It’s better to die on the surface. Woolen cloth.

Vaughan took a few deep breaths, looked at himself in the mirror in the bathroom, looked around, and seemed to want to know what he would think of himself when the descendant came?

"Vaughn, come here." The leader of the mission to return to the surface this time is Boris. He is a powerful middle-aged man, but standing there is like a tall tower, and the tower is beckoning to him at this time.

Vaughan walked over obediently, watching Boris carefully inspect the protective clothing issued to him.

In order to deal with large storms, the entire protective suit is shrouded in a fairing to reduce the area exposed to the wind as much as possible without affecting activities, but even so, people wearing this thing look like they have just learned to walk Like a penguin.

"Oxygen and radiation suppressors are full, check the other parts carefully." Boris handed the protective suit to Vaughan, and then said loudly to everyone; "Remember what I told you before, if you accidentally face the In a big storm, you can't breathe directly, you need to turn around, look for the leeward direction, cover your face with your hands, try to breathe, you will have three or four chances!"

"This is what we are going to do this time. The safety rope is a high-strength carbon nanorope that can bear [-] tons of tension per meter. This is the suspension frame that supports the safety rope!" Boris motioned everyone to pay attention. The brave people present There were nine people in total, and they were divided into three groups, each with a division of labor: "Look carefully, this kind of suspension frame, I require it to be nailed into the ground at least one meter deep!"

In fact, no one knows whether the depth of one meter is useful. They are just trying, and one meter is counted as one meter.

Soon Boris finished his instructions, and the whole team lined up and filed out in silence into the eighteen-kilometer-long tunnel. After months of busy engineering personnel, the tunnel had already been paved. A long narrow gauge railway.

At least inside the shelter, human civilization still retains a certain degree of industrial production capacity.

With some difficulty, Vaughan got on the narrow tunnel driving car. There was only one dim light at a distance, echoing each other. He listened to the sound of breathing echoing in his ears, and suddenly felt a strong sense of fear. If the tunnel collapsed what to do?What if something goes wrong with his protective suit?
The small sense of fear was finally left behind with the start of the traveling car. The whole team seemed very silent at this time, and no one wanted to speak, even Boris.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the end of the tunnel. This is where people discovered the Night City sewer system. This place is still 150 meters deep from the surface. The reason why they were able to discover this place was all thanks to superhumans.

The Valentino Refuge has established a small outpost here. Twelve armed sentry guards are here to guard against any accidents and find the refuge along the tunnel. After all, they did not live in the refuge for fun. so.

"I wish you good luck." The sentries at the outpost cast admiring glances at them one by one, but the gazes seemed to have weight, which made people unwilling to respond.

"Follow me from now on, don't miss a single step. If you enter the wrong passage, no one will be able to find you back." Boris emphasized, and before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, he picked up the bag he was carrying. Some supplies have departed.

From here on, the tunnel was already filled with toxic gas and radiation dust, and the detector built into the protective clothing gave out a feeble warning sound from time to time, as if complaining that his master wanted to put him to death.

The supplies Vaughan received were 15-meter-long carbon nanoropes and five suspension racks. These things together weighed about [-] kilograms. After walking for a while, sweat dripped from his forehead.

But the team still moved forward in silence. When Vaughn felt his legs were numb and didn't know where he was, Boris said: "One kilometer ahead is the city hall. Thanks to the councilors back then. I built my house so strong that it still stands there."

For some unknown reason, Vaughn was suddenly happy when he heard that the city hall was still there. After all, there was a building he was familiar with still there, and he had escaped the apocalypse day like himself. This made Vaughn feel that maybe the surface wasn't that bad.
However, it turns out that he was wrong.

When Boris led them to appear in front of the dark passage leading to the surface and told them to climb up 40 meters to enter the interior of the city hall, no one in the team heard clearly.

Because of the ear-piercing whistling sound, it was vented continuously in the underground space through that hole, as if someone was using this land as a musical instrument, and was playing the Music Show of Destruction.

"Didn't it mean that today is the day with the lowest wind speed in the past ten years!" Vaughan asked loudly. He tried to climb up the tunnel just now, but was directly blown back by the wind.

"That's compared to other times!" Boris was still the first to enter the tunnel and began to climb upwards, squeezing the storm with his own body, forming an even more frightening whistling sound.

Vaughan took a deep breath and followed suit. After all, he had more reasons than others to leave the shelter.

Climbing, climbing, Vaughan silently counted how many steps he took in total, hoping to restore the map one day in the future.

A quarter of an hour later, the wind grew louder, and Boris stopped, turned and said something to them, but no one could hear him.

What he said was: "Welcome back to the old world!"
